The Armory Show

Mar 08, 2018 – Mar 11, 2018

At The Armory Show 2018, Pace Gallery will present works from Tara Donovan’s latest series, Compositions (Cards). The framed works, which are all from 2017, are developed through an improvisational process of incremental stacking that slowly evolves into a unique set of strategic rules that guides the completion of the work.

The presentation at The Armory Show follows recent exhibitions of Donovan’s work at Pace Gallery in New York (winter 2017), Seoul (fall 2017) and in London (winter 2018), and will complement the monumental installation Untitled, 2018 that Donovan has created for the Pier 94 Town Square as part of the annual Platformsection.

The new installation, Untitled, results from the artist’s latest experiments with the material condition of transparency and takes the form of a pyramidal cross-section, comprised of tens of thousands of clear plastic tubes. Normally used for commercial product packaging, the tubes are cut to precise lengths along a scale from 2 inches to 8 feet and assembled into tiered sections that come together into a luminous rippling expansion, amplifying the interplay between light and edge and spanning 33-square feet at the center of the fair.

Tara Donovan will debut a new monumental, site-specific installation at the Armory Show's 2018 Platform section, "The Contingent." Taking the form of a pyramidal cross-section (or wedge), Donovan's installation approaches the scale of architecture in relation to the human body. Tens of thousands of clear plastic tubes normally used for commercial product packaging were cut to precise lengths along a scale from 2 inches to 8 feet and assembled in tiered sections that come together into a 33-foot
